I wanted to try standing, so I built a custom standing desk for $50. I’ve been standing at my workstation nearly full time since the start of 2016 and I still do today. The screenshot in the above link is a bit old. It’s been modified to have a shelf for the drawing tablet and those aren’t the monitors / mic I use today.

Recording and Music

I’m a HUGE fan of Camtasia 9 for recording screencasts. It’s what I used in my latest Docker course and will be using for future courses. It easily saves me dozens of hours of editing for each course. It also works for MacOS and Windows, and you can use 1 license on more than 1 machine.

I do all of my audio editing and music listening through a pair of Sony MDR V6 headphones and I’m extremely pleased with them. I wrote a huge guide on how to pick headphones before, so check that out. I think I will use these headphones for the rest of my life.

REAPER is the only audio processing software that I use. It’s an excellent DAW and lets you process audio in real-time. That is super important since I record so much audio for my courses because it cuts down a lot of time on post-production editing.
